I flew the FM-2 Wildcat during the filming of the DMWT commercial and Reg flew the P-51D Mustang "Gunfighter". We were asked to fly directly behind the B-17 as it came over the hill but with the B-17 down in the dirt we were eating its turbulance and never made it into the final cut, despite several attempts. Looking at my logbook, the video was shot on 24-25 October, 1990. I flew out to Midland from Lancaster (DFW Wing where the Wildcat was based) on the 24th and flew back to Northwest Regional (where I had my personal hangar and planes) on the 25th and departed the same day for CAF HQ in Harlingen to participate in the flight to the Guadalajara air show the next morning. That was a long day but Guadalajara was a show to remember!

P.S. There is a video of the "making of" the DMWT commercial shot with some interesting shots of the low passes by the B-17G. More on that later.
